They Don't want Him.

1.-THE soldiers of Ohio who aided in
fighting the Southern rebellion to death
don't want a Governor who stigma
tizes the Chief Magistrate of our ma
ton as "a whipped spaniel and after
wards apologies to the ''dogn for the
insult. Neither do they want Gov
ernor who will recommend the Legis-
lature to provide by law for in
creasing the taxes on the lands of the
State, and on the necessaries of life,
and lowering them on the luxuries of
life. Neither do they want legislators
elected who will carry into effect any
such recommendations of Governor
Foraker
The foregoing was written by q
Democrat who voted for General Jack
son for President in 1928 and the only
Democrat now living in Ohio who was
a delegate to the Baltimore Conven-
ton in 1886, when Martin VanBuren
was nominated for President and
Richard M. Johnson for Vice President,
and furthermore the only Democrat
alive who voted for the late William
Allen for the United States Senator in
1887 and in 1843. It will be perceived
that his Democracy has not diminished
with his advancing years. He has an
abiding faith that Ohio will 20 Demo

THE PRIZE BANNERS.
Let Every Township and Precinct
Try and Win Them.

The County Democratic Executive Com
mittee will this year give three large and
handsome flags, with beautiful staffs, to the
three townships or precincts giving the
largest net per cent of increase in the Demo-
cratic vote over that cast last year for the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of State.
This proposition places the small townships
and voting precincts on the same footing
and every township and precinct has an
equal chance to win the piize. They are u
foot bunting flags of the best quality, and
just what every township will want in the great
campaign of 1883. Let the Democracy of
every township and precinct make an effort
to win these beautiful prizes.

with century's history and replete with
curious associations, is one Of the important
features of the paper. and fully illustrated,

g me Republicans have IN ! measr

~ The Republicans have in measure
dropped Foraker and his increase Of land
taxes, and are now making desperate effort
to capture the next Legislature. They think
the Legislature will be of more benefit to
them than Foraker, and all their efforts are
now being put forward to securing that body.
The Democrats in almost every instance
have made strong Legislative nominations
and with solid vote Of the party will secure
both houses Of the Legislature. The people
are sorely disgusted with the proceedings Of
the last Republican Legislature, and hun
dreds Of Republicans will vote for q change.
Democrats, work for your Legislature candi-
dates and victoryivi crown your efforts.

London Truth says that in former
days tame turkeys were fed with wal
nuts to give them the taste of wild
turkeys. In Italy turkeys are always
fattened with walnuts. Thirty days
before turkey is to be killed one wal
nut Is stuffed down his throat. Each
day he is given. an additional walnut,
and on the 18th day he has twenty
nine walnuts. He Is then immensely
fat. We have often wondered why ouI
turkey breeders do not adopt this
plan.

~ Some Republicans are busy circulat-
ing the report that Senator Groschner is not
friendly TO the canal system. Senator
Groscher is staunch friend Of the canals and
his vote is always recorder for them on all
the bills before the Legislature for their
abandonment. The canals have no better
friend than Senator Groschner, and this at
tempt of the Republicans to place him in a
false light is pernicious, as the records will
show that he has always voted with the canal
interests. A vote for Senator Groschner is q
vote for sustaining the canals, the friend of
the people.
